World Cup 2018

[superfrank]

The best team won, I think we can all agree on that.

An incredible achievement for a country of 4m people to reach the world cup final, and they play proper football. Well done to them.

Could've sealed it by halftime

[Dallas]

On a positive note, they are coming home having exceeded all expectations.

As the youngest side in the tournament for once it does look good going forward rather than coming home and going back to the drawing board and rebuilding from the bottom

Nobody in midfield to control the game.

With hindsight, should have taken JonJo. Bit of a wild card both on and off the pitch but may have been the Joker to control the game better.

We get another go at Belgium

Personally, even thought this before the tournament. What’s the point in 3rd place.

Go home get some rest ready for their domestic leagues.

50/50 agree on this, however, think terrier!!

Disappointed we didn't get through - I would have made the time to watch the final.

3rd place play-off must me the hardest match of all, finding the motivation after your dreams have just been shattered!

[BetScalper]

Do you have to bother playing the 3rd/4th place playoff ?

[SeaHorseRacing]

You know what’s a shame. Likely we’re have another b team vs b team again Saturday.

Pretty sure the like of Poch and Guardiola will be sending Gareth a text tomorrow.

I'm not really a fan of the 3rd/4th match normally but think this one against Belgium could be important for two reasons
1) To prove we can beat them
2) To come home finishing with a win and on a high (3rd place may just feel better than the runner-up will on Sun)

Of course, that's assuming we beat them which I think we can and will - given a few days to get over tonight I think England will really be up for it
and 3rd Place will be a remarkable achievement for the youngest side in the tournament

the stats from the match

[ShaunWhite]

Real mixed feelings, done so well but missed golden opportunity.

[BetScalper]

Let's face it, they played 2 good teams and lost them both. If you take all the foreign players out of the premier league then would it be ranked high in the world, probably not.

England always has a Plan A but unlike the top teams never has a Plan B.

How many English players are good enough to play for top foreign clubs every week ? Not many. You could probably count them on both hands.
